As Thompson speaks, the words of an endorsement from the Wisconsin State Journal appears on the screen.

"This election is about the need for jobs, cooperation and fiscal sanity," the line reads on screen. "Thompson wins on those priorities."
The ad ends with Thompson saying he approves the message because "I'm proud of what we've accomplished and I will fight to reform Washington." As he talks, the logos of the various papers that endorsed him appear on screen next to him.
